Chapter 402 Lilith and the Unmanned Fleet
Since Lilith controlled three unmanned fleets before, Amber asked her to command these unmanned battleships to jump to the one used before by the Infinity formation. On a deep space mooring.
Although the spaceport of Para IV can provide main fleet-level docking and maintenance, it is an Imperial Navy-standard port after all. The degree of support for the unmanned fleet is limited, and it is basically used now. Atlas's fleet and the remaining ships of the Thirteenth Fleet are occupied, so there are no free berths for the time being.
At the same time, these three unmanned fleets are considered a 'sensitive point' that should be avoided for both Atlas and the Federation, so after thoroughly clarifying the situation of the fleets Amber didn't want them to wander around in the orbit of Para 4.
Otherwise, there will always be a feeling of pulling the federation’s face, and maybe this behemoth will be completely angered at some point.
After having some free time, Amber finally had the opportunity to ask Lilith about the situation in detail.
“What’s the situation with the unmanned fleet?” Lilith rolled her eyes, and then waved her hand to display a huge virtual screen, with detailed information such as the number of the three fleets, ship types, and maintenance status, like flowing water. The same appears above.
“These three fleets are the earliest unmanned fleets put into use by the Federation, and are internally codenamed 'Big Three'. They are also the three fleets that have been involved in the war for the longest time and have the most combat experience.
< < br>
As for the specific organization, the Federation Navy updated the organization of the navy's main fleet some time after the war began, and all unmanned fleets were also organized according to this set of standards.
Under normal circumstances, the total number of ships in a main fleet should be 260, with a fluctuation of no more than 3%. The configuration is generally 30 battleships, 40 heavy cruisers, 60 light cruisers, 100 destroyers, frigates and 30 Supply/large transport ship."
Lilith paused for a moment, as if some information flashed through her mind, and then continued with a smile:
"But it is limited by the synchronization after the war. The navy is planning to expand, so its production capacity cannot support all main fleets being upgraded to this size.
Take the 13th fleet that we fought with as an example. Before they broke into the empire's territory, they had less than 60 battleships in total. It was replaced by a destroyer. "
Amber was not surprised by what Lilith said. In fact, not only the Federation, but also the Star Dragon Empire had a similar situation when it urgently expanded its fleet after the war.
All fleets and battle groups are clamoring to replenish new ships. At this time, some "hidden rules" will inevitably appear. Therefore, when some fleets can obtain limited new ship replenishments, the remaining fleets can only For the time being, the old ships that have been reopened will be used to temporarily replace the establishment.
But generally speaking, old battleships and heavy cruisers will still be used to fill the missing battleships. Fleets like the 13th fleet are the worst luck. If there is really no ship to replace, they will be replaced first. A group of light cruisers and destroyers.
"What about these three unmanned fleets? Could it be that they were also fooled by the ship organization?"
Amber asked with some worry. , he was now afraid that the unmanned fleet would also be shoddy. It would be funny to say that there were three fleets but a bunch of non-capital ships were stuffed into them.
Although these three fleets are purely for free and did not pay any price, Amber still does not want to suffer in this regard.
"It's good that we are lucky, Master~"
Lilith enlarged the specific column and then said:
"Maybe it's because these three fleets are fighting The most experienced, so when the Federal Navy replenished them, it still tried its best to maintain the original organization. I will call it the three temporary codenames A, B, and C.
The A fleet is the organization. The most complete, the current total number of ships is 236, including 36 battleships, 48 heavy cruisers, 48 light cruisers, 89 destroyers, frigates, and 15 supply/large transport ships, currently B fleet. The total number of ships is 219, including 31 battleships, 43 heavy cruisers, 42 light cruisers, 88 destroyers, frigates, and 15 supply/large transport ships.
Fleet C is the less complete of the three. It has not completed the ship replenishment work after the previous battle. The current total number of ships is 193, including 24 battleships, 36 heavy cruisers, 55 light cruisers, 63 destroyers, frigates, and 15 supply/large transport ships.
As for the ammunition and material reserves, the three fleets are 80%, 72% and 65% respectively. It is expected that low-intensity fleet battles can last for two or three battles, while high-intensity fleet battles can only support one battle. It looks like~
By the way, the good news for Master is that since there is no need to carry the supplies needed by human crews, the transport ships and supply ships of these unmanned fleets have been cut in half, and the extra The entire establishment is used to supplement the battleships, further strengthening the specialized capabilities of artillery warfare.
But the bad news is that the Federation has not yet completed the experiment of unmanned combat units, so these fleets are not equipped with units such as HCP or combat boats that can operate autonomously, and can only conduct conventional artillery battles. If If you fall into hand-to-hand combat, you will be relatively disadvantaged due to the lack of cover from the ship-borne HCP."
Lilith gave an overview of the situation of the unmanned fleet eloquently, and An, who was pressed under her, Po immediately felt like he had become a "nouveau riche". Although Atlas now had the ability to manufacture capital ships, it was limited by the fact that some key parts still needed help from Ellenita, resulting in a slowdown in production. Not very fast.
If we want to build three fleets, it will probably take several years based on Atlas's current production capacity.
And just maintaining these three fleets is a big challenge for Atlas.
Even the 'A Bawa Ku' asteroid base, which was considered to park multiple main fleets from the beginning, has almost enough berths for these three unmanned fleets. The daily maintenance, repair, and material supply of hundreds of warships also require a lot of manpower and material resources.
But even so, Amber was still filled with ecstasy.
Three normal unmanned fleets, plus Atlas's existing ships and the capital ships and super flagships that will be launched in the future. At least in terms of fleet warfare, Atlas can't be put on the table. Eat', but no matter what, it is a third party that the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire need to pay attention to.
“As for what you are most concerned about Master, how do I control the unmanned fleet? It’s actually very simple.”
Lilith suddenly floated up from Amber’s body, and at the same time, the whole People are also 'digitized' in an instant, broken into bodies of data streams, and eventually form a massive code that keeps rolling like a waterfall.
Immediately afterwards, another side of the 'Code Waterfall' also appeared next to her. When the frequency of scrolling on both sides became consistent, Amber quickly saw something.
“So this thing next to you is the source code of the unmanned fleet’s shipboard controller personality?”
"That's right, Master~"
"Why is the similarity so high? Isn't it basically the same?" Amber said with some surprise, and then immediately realized something.
“Good guy, so the shipboard control personality of the unmanned fleet is actually a derivative based on the research on you? No, this can’t be said to be a derivative, it is obviously a copy. .”
The Federation’s unmanned fleet technology is derived from the study of Lilith. Although there is not enough evidence in the plot of the previous life, neither Amber nor other players in the game have this view. Players are all more aware of it.
However, Amber really didn't expect that the Federation would basically 'reproduce' it based on the research data of Lilith back then. At most, it would just add some so-called 'restrictions'. At the same time, the emotional module is closed, causing these AIs to lose the most critical link in transforming into 'strong artificial intelligence'.
Lilith, who basically has the same origin, has greatly improved her performance after escaping from the research institute and completed two iterative evolutions of her own. In this case, it is not too simple to control these AIs.
"It seems that the 'Creator Project' still left a lot of usable legacy to the Federation, and it is obvious that Dr. Mephisto continued to conduct a lot of research in this area after the termination of the project."
Amber raised her hand and touched her chin. Thinking of this doctor who also knew Lilith well, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the other party came up with some countermeasures, Lilith did not evolve like in her previous life. Being the 'Crimson Queen' is more or less threatening.
"Master, are you worried that the Federation may take some measures against us if they guess that I am still 'alive'?" After being reassembled into a human form by the data streamer, Lilith floated to Amber again. Lying on his arm.
“It’s not possible, it’s certain.”
"Oh~ That's really scary, but I believe Master will protect me, right?"
After the personal image evolved into the 'Queen Body', Lilith's face also looked more mature. , the Qiaoxiao Yanran at this moment has a different charm compared to the 'girly body'.
Amber curled her lips and did not respond directly, but was thinking about something in her mind. Lilith did not speak, she just rested her head on Amber's arm quietly, enjoying this rare leisure time.
After a while, Amber suddenly said: "I just thought of a question. You have reactivated the emotional modules of so many shipboard control personalities in the three unmanned fleets. Isn't that right? Will there be many more ‘yous’ in the future?”
